In 1594, after Sultan Tajul Ariffin died, Raja Ali who was the grandson of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Shah was appointed as the 5th Sultan of Perak. He ascended the throne with the title of Sultan Alauddin Shah and settled by the river in an area now known as Bota Kanan. Sultan Alauddin Shah ruled Perak for about nine years from 1594 to 1603. Sultan Alauddin Shah's government center was located in Bota and during his reign, Aceh still housed several orang-orang besar of Aceh to oversee and administer the Perak Sultanate. [2]

Death

Sultan Alauddin Shah died in 1603 and was titled Marhum Mangkat di Darat. Originally, he was buried on the banks of the Perak River at the end of Bota Island. When the tomb almost collapsed into the river, it was moved behind a row of shops in the town of Bota Kanan. Sultan Alauddin Shah's mausoleum is located in the town of Bota Kanan and is close to Sultan Ahmaddin Shah's (18th Sultan of Perak) mausoleum. [3] [2]

There is not much information regarding Sultan Alauddin Shah during his reign as the 5th Sultan of Perak due to the lack of documentation that can be referenced. [2]

The Batu Tarsilah is a stone tablet listing the genealogy of Bruneian sultans from 1363 to 1804 CE, in addition to historical records such as Malay manuscripts and oral narratives. The Batu Tarsilah, a stone inscription dating back to 1807, documents Brunei's royal ancestry and was commissioned by Sultans Muhyiddin and Husin Kamaluddin. The tablet is regarded as the most trustworthy source for verifying Brunei's monarchy's ties to the Prophet Moḥammad's lineage and the Quraysh through comparative research based on Islamic genealogy, hence bolstering the legitimacy and sovereignty of Brunei's rulers. The historical and cultural grandeur of the sultanate is symbolised by this tablet.
